"Allah is Creator of all things, and He is Guardian over all things." (39:62) "His are the beys of the heavens and the earth. He enlargeth providence for whom He will and straiteneth (it for whom He will). Lo! He is Knower of all things." (42:12) For He is "The Originator of the heavens and the earth! When He decreeth a thing, He saith unto it only: Be! and it is." (2:117) "And verily We created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in six Days, and naught of weariness touched Us." (50:38) "Disbelieve ye verily in Him Who created the earth in two Days, and ascribe ye unto Him rivals? He (and none else) is the Lord of the Worlds. He placed therein firm hills rising above it, and blessed it and measured therein its sustenance in four Days, alike for (all) who ask; Then turned He to the heaven when it was smoke, and said unto it and unto the earth: Come both of you, willingly or loth. They said: We come, obedient. Then He ordained them seven heavens in two Days and inspired in each heaven its mandate; and We decked the nether heaven with lamps, and rendered it inviolable. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Knower." (41: 9-12) "And Allah hath caused you to grow as a growth from the earth, (71:17) " None payeth heed save him who turneth (unto Him) repentant." (40:13) "Therefor glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back." (36:83) "Allah is He Who created you and then sustained you, then causeth you to die, then giveth life to you again." (30:40 "And He hath cast into the earth firm hills that it quake not with you, and streams and roads that ye may find a way." (16:15) "And Allah hath made the earth a wide expanse for you (19) That ye may thread the valley-ways thereof." (71:19-20) " Lo! most of mankind are heedless of Our portents." (10:92) "And hath made of service unto you whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth; it is all from Him. Lo! herein verily are portents for a people who reflect." (45:13) "And in the earth are portents for those whose faith is sure. And (also) in yourselves. Can ye then not see?" (51:21" "And He showeth you His tokens. Which, then, of the tokens of Allah do ye deny?" (40:81) " Or were they created out of naught? Or are they the creators?" (52:35) "Have they not pondered upon themselves? Allah created not the heavens and the earth, and that which is between them, save with truth and for a destined end. But truly many of mankind are disbelievers in the meeting with their Lord." (8:30) "We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them in play". (21:16) "Have they not considered the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and what things Allah hath created, and that it may be that their own term draweth nigh? In what fact after this will they believe?" (7:185) "How many a portent is there in the heavens and the earth which they pass by with face averted!" (12:105) "Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them, and we made every living thing of water? Will they not then believe?" (21:30) "There is not an animal in the earth, nor a flying creature flying on two wings, but they are peoples like unto you. We have neglected nothing in the Book (of Our decrees). Then unto their Lord they will be gathered." (6:38)
Allah "createth the two spouses, the male and the female," (53:45) "And all things We have created by pairs, that haply ye may reflect." (51:49"
"Is Allah best, or (all) that ye ascribe as partners (unto Him)?" (27:59) " He it is Who sendeth down water from the sky, whence ye have drink, and whence are trees on which ye send your beasts to pasture. Therewith He causeth crops to grow for you, and the olive and the date-palm and grapes and all kinds of fruit. Lo! herein is indeed a portent for people who reflect. (16:10-11) "Lo! We have created every thing by measure." (54:49)
"Assuredly the creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of mankind; but most of mankind know not. "(40:57) "Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built? He raised the height thereof and ordered it; And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof." (79:27-29) "Allah it is Who raised up the heavens without visible supports, then mounted the Throne, and compelled the sun and the moon to be of service, each runneth unto an appointed term; He ordereth the course; He detaileth the revelations, that haply ye may be certain of the meeting with your Lord." (13:2)
Allah it is Who "hath created seven heavens in harmony. Thou (Muhammad) canst see no fault in the Beneficent One's creation; then look again: Canst thou see any rifts? Then look again and yet again, thy sight will return unto thee weakened and made dim." (67:3-4) "Blessed be He Who hath placed in the heaven mansions of the stars, and hath placed therein a great lamp and a moon giving light!" (25:61) "And verily in the heaven we have set mansions of the stars, and We have beautified it for beholders." (15:16) "And we have made the sky a roof withheld (from them). Yet they turn away from its portents." (21:32)
"Man is made of haste. I shall show you My portents, but ask Me not to hasten." (21:37) "We shall show them Our portents on the horizons and within themselves until it will be manifest unto them that it is the Truth. Doth not thy Lord suffice, since He is Witness over all things?" (41:53) "Have they not seen the birds above them spreading out their wings and closing them? Naught upholdeth them save the Beneficent. Lo! He is Seer of all things." (67:19) "And lo! in the cattle there is a lesson for you. We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, from betwixt the refuse and the blood, pure milk palatable to the drinkers." (16:66) "And horses and mules and asses (hath He created) that ye may ride them, and for ornament. And He createth that which ye know not." (16:8) "And thy Lord inspired the bee, saying: Choose thou habitations in the hills and in the trees and in that which they thatch; Then eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of thy Lord, made smooth (for thee). There cometh forth from their bellies a drink divers of hues, wherein is healing for mankind. Lo! herein is indeed a portent for people who reflect." (16:68-69)
"And He it is Who hath given independence to the two seas (though they meet); one palatable, sweet, and the other saltish, bitter; and hath set a bar and a forbidding ban between them." (25:53) "And the two seas are not alike: this, fresh, sweet, good to drink, this (other) bitter, salt. And from them both ye eat fresh meat and derive the ornament that ye wear. And thou seest the ship cleaving them with its prow that ye may seek of His bounty, and that haply ye may give thanks." (35:12) "And the sun runneth on unto a resting-place for him. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Wise. And for the moon We have appointed mansions till she return like an old shrivelled palm-leaf. It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit." (36:38-40)
"He it is Who appointed the sun a splendour and the moon a light, and measured for her stages, that ye might know the number of the years, and the reckoning. Allah created not (all) that save in truth. He detaileth the revelations for people who have knowledge." (10:5)
"Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Aye, that He is! for He is the All-Wise Creator." (35:81)
"And He it is Who sendeth down the saving rain after they have despaired, and spreadeth out His mercy. He is the Protecting Friend, the Praiseworthy." (42:28) "Allah is He Who sendeth the winds so that they raise clouds, and spreadeth them along the sky as pleaseth Him, and causeth them to break and thou seest the rain downpouring from within them. And when He maketh it to fall on whom He will of His bondmen, lo! they rejoice; Though before that, even before it was sent down upon them, they were in despair. Look, therefore, at the prints of Allah's mercy (in creation): how He quickeneth the earth after her death. Lo! He verily is the Quickener of the Dead, and He is Able to do all things. And if We sent a wind and they beheld it yellow, they verily would still continue in their disbelief. (30:48-51) "And we send down from the sky water in measure, and We give it lodging in the earth, and lo! We are Able to withdraw it." (29:18) "Hast thou not seen how Allah wafteth the clouds, then gathereth them, then maketh them layers, and thou seest the rain come forth from between them; He sendeth down from the heaven mountains wherein is hail, and smiteth therewith whom He will, and averteth it from whom He will. The flashing of His lightning all but snatcheth away the sight." (24:43) "And Allah it is Who sendeth the winds and they raise a cloud; then We lead it unto a dead land and revive therewith the earth after its death. Such is the Resurrection." (35:9) "And of His portents (is this): that thou seest the earth lowly, but when We send down water thereon it thrilleth and groweth. Lo! He Who quickeneth it is verily the Quickener of the Dead. Lo! He is Able to do all things." (41:39) "Have they not seen how We lead the water to the barren land and therewith bring forth crops whereof their cattle eat, and they themselves? Will they not then see?" (32:27) "And verily We have repeated it among them that they may remember, but most of mankind begrudge aught save ingratitude." (25:50) "Hast thou not seen that Allah causeth water to fall from the sky, and We produce therewith fruit of divers hues; and among the hills are streaks white and red, of divers hues, and (others) raven-black; And of men and beasts and cattle, in like manner, divers hues? The erudite among His bondmen fear Allah alone. Lo! Allah is Mighty, Forgiving." (35:27-28) "Hast thou not seen how Allah hath sent down water from the sky and hath caused it to penetrate the earth as watersprings, and afterward thereby produceth crops of divers hues; and afterward they wither and thou seest them turn yellow; then He maketh them chaff. Lo! herein verily is a reminder for men of understanding." (39:21) “Say: Have ye thought: If (all) your water were to disappear into the earth, who then could bring you gushing water? " (67 : 30)
"This is the Creation of Allah. Now show me that which those (ye worship) beside Him have created. Nay, but the wrong-doers are in error manifest!" (31:11) "Is He then Who createth as him who createth not? Will ye not then remember?" (16:17) "Is Allah best, or (all) that ye ascribe as partners (unto Him)? Is not He (best) Who created the heavens and the earth, and sendeth down for you water from the sky wherewith We cause to spring forth joyous orchards, whose trees it never hath been yours to cause to grow. Is there any Allah beside Allah? Nay, but they are folk who ascribe equals (unto Him)! (60) Is not He (best) Who made the earth a fixed abode, and placed rivers in the folds thereof, and placed firm hills therein, and hath set a barrier between the two seas? Is there any God beside Allah? Nay, but most of them know not! Is not He (best) Who answereth the wronged one when he crieth unto Him and removeth the evil, and hath made you viceroys of the earth? Is there any God beside Allah? Little do they reflect! Is not He (best) Who guideth you in the darkness of the land and the sea, He Who sendeth the winds as heralds of His mercy? Is there any God beside Allah? High Exalted be Allah from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)!" (27:59-63)
"Lo! therein verily is a reminder for him who hath a heart, or giveth ear with full intelligence." (50:37) "O mankind! Remember Allah's grace toward you! Is there any creator other than Allah who provideth for you from the sky and the earth? There is no God save Him. Whither then are ye turned?" (35:3) "See ye not how Allah hath made serviceable unto you whatsoever is in the skies and whatsoever is in the earth and hath loaded you with His favours both without and within? Yet of mankind is he who disputeth concerning Allah, without knowledge or guidance or a scripture giving light." (31:20) "O mankind! Lo! the promise of Allah is true. So let not the life of the world beguile you, and let not the (avowed) beguiler beguile you with regard to Allah." (35:5) "This life of the world is but a pastime and a game. Lo! the home of the Hereafter - that is Life, if they but knew." (29:64) "Know that the life of the world is only play, and idle talk, and pageantry, and boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children; as the likeness of vegetation after rain, whereof the growth is pleasing to the husbandman, but afterward it drieth up and thou seest it turning yellow, then it becometh straw. And in the Hereafter there is grievous punishment, and (also) forgiveness from Allah and His good pleasure, whereas the life of the world is but matter of illusion." (57:20) "Now whatever ye have been given is but a passing comfort for the life of the world, and that which Allah hath is better and more lasting for those who believe and put their trust in their Lord." (42:36)
"Allah enlargeth livelihood for whom He will, and straiteneth (it for whom He will); and they rejoice in the life of the world, whereas the life of the world is but brief comfort as compared with the Hereafter." (13:26) "Unto Allah belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. He createth what He will. He bestoweth female (offspring) upon whom He will, and bestoweth male (offspring) upon whom He will; Or He mingleth them, males and females, and He maketh barren whom He will. Lo! He is Knower, Powerful." (42:49-50) "Lo! therein indeed are portents for every steadfast, grateful (heart)." (31:31) "Deemed ye then that We created you for naught, and that ye would not be returned unto Us?" (23 : 115) "Have they not seen that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth and was not wearied by their creation, is Able to give life to the dead? Aye, He verily is Able to do all things." (46:33) "Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Aye, that He is! for He is the All-Wise Creator, But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that he saith unto it: Be! and it is. Therefor glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things! Unto Him ye will be brought back. (36:81-83) "And not an atom's weight in the earth or in the sky escapeth your Lord, nor what is less than that or greater than that, but it is (written) in a clear Book." (10:61)
"O mankind! if ye are in doubt concerning the Resurrection, then lo! We have created you from dust, then from a drop of seed, then from a clot, then from a little lump of flesh shapely and shapeless, that We may make (it) clear for you. And We cause what We will to remain in the wombs for an appointed time, and afterward We bring you forth as infants, then (give you growth) that ye attain your full strength. And among you there is he who dieth (young), and among you there is he who is brought back to the most abject time of life, so that, after knowledge, he knoweth naught. And thou (Muhammad) seest the earth barren, but when We send down water thereon, it doth thrill and swell and put forth every lovely kind (of growth). That is because Allah, He is the Truth and because He quickeneth the dead, and because He is Able to do all things; And because the Hour will come, there is no doubt thereof; and because Allah will raise those who are in the graves. (22:5-7) "Verily We created man from a product of wet earth; Then placed him as a drop (of seed) in a safe lodging; Then fashioned We the drop a clot, then fashioned We the clot a little lump, then fashioned We the little lump bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it as another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators!" (26:12-14) "He created you from one being, then from that (being) He made its mate; and He hath provided for you of cattle eight kinds. He created you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, in a threefold gloom. Such is Allah, your Lord. His is the Sovereignty. There is no Allah save Him. How then are ye turned away?" (39:6) "Did We not create you from a base fluid Which We laid up in a safe abode (77:20-21) "Who made all things good which He created, and He began the creation of man from clay; Then He made his seed from a draught of despised fluid; Then He fashioned him and breathed into him of His Spirit; and appointed for you hearing and sight and hearts. Small thanks give ye!" (32:7-9)
"So let man consider from what he is created. He is created from a gushing fluid That issued from between the loins and ribs." (86:5-7) "Lo! We create man from a drop of thickened fluid to test him; so We make him hearing, knowing." (76:2) "He it is who gave you being, and hath assigned unto you ears and eyes and hearts. Small thanks give ye!" (67:23) "He it is Who created you from dust, then from a drop (of seed) then from a clot, then bringeth you forth as a child, then (ordaineth) that ye attain full strength and afterward that ye become old men - though some among you die before - and that ye reach an appointed term, that haply ye may understand." (40:67) Allah it is Who "fashioned you and perfected your shapes, and hath provided you with good things. Such is Allah, your Lord. Then blessed be Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!" (40:64) "And Allah createth you, then causeth you to die, and among you is he who is brought back to the most abject stage of life, so that he knoweth nothing after (having had) knowledge. Lo! Allah is Knower, Powerful." (16:70) "He whom we bring unto old age, We reverse him in creation (making him go back to weakness after strength). Have ye then no sense? (36:68) " Allah receiveth (men's) souls at the time of their death, and that (soul) which dieth not (yet) in its sleep. He keepeth that (soul) for which He hath ordained death and dismisseth the rest till an appointed term. Lo! herein verily are portents for people who take thought." (39:42)
"No human soul but hath a guardian over it." (86:4) "And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of your languages and colours. Lo! herein indeed are portents for men of knowledge." (30:22)
"Such then is Allah, your rightful Lord. After the Truth what is there saving error? How then are ye turned away!" (10:32) "O mankind! Keep your duty to your Lord and fear a Day when the parent will not be able to avail the child in aught, nor the child to avail the parent. Lo! Allah's promise is the very truth. Let not the life of the world beguile you, nor let the deceiver beguile you, in regard to Allah." (31:33)
Allah "answereth the wronged one when he crieth unto Him and removeth the evil" (27 : 62) , which nobody else can do. And "Allah giveth without reckoning to whom He will." (2 : 212) So where’s the problem? Well, the problem is with man, not with Allah. Let’s see these examples in the Quran: "Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord And lo! he is a witness unto that; And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent. Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth And the secrets of the breasts are made known, On that day will their Lord be perfectly informed concerning them. (100:6-11) "Man prayeth for evil as he prayeth for good; for man was ever hasty." (17:11) "Man tireth not of praying for good, and if ill toucheth him, then he is disheartened, desperate." (41:49) "As for man, whenever his Lord trieth him by honouring him, and is gracious unto him, he saith: My Lord honoureth me. But whenever He trieth him by straitening his means of life, he saith: My Lord despiseth me. Nay, but ye (for your part) honour not the orphan And urge not on the feeding of the poor. And ye devour heritages with devouring greed. And love wealth with abounding love. (89:15-20) "When We show favour unto man, he withdraweth and turneth aside, but when ill toucheth him then he aboundeth in prayer." (41:51) "And if misfortune touch a man he crieth unto Us, (while reclining) on his side, or sitting or standing, but when We have relieved him of the misfortune he goeth his way as though he had not cried unto Us because of a misfortune that afflicted him. Thus is what they do made (seeming) fair unto the prodigal." (10:12) "And when We make life pleasant unto man, he turneth away and is averse; and when ill toucheth him he is in despair." (17:83) "And lo! when We cause man to taste of mercy from Us he exulteth therefor. And if some evil striketh them because of that which their own hands have sent before, then lo! man is an ingrate." (42:48) "And when We cause mankind to taste of mercy they rejoice therein; but if an evil thing befall them as the consequence of their own deeds, lo! they are in despair! See they not that Allah enlargeth the provision for whom He will, and straiteneth (it for whom He will). Lo! herein indeed are portents for folk who believe." (30:36-37) "And when We cause mankind to taste of mercy after some adversity which had afflicted them, behold! they have some plot against Our revelations. Say: Allah is more swift in plotting. Lo! Our messengers write down that which ye plot." (10:21) "And when harm toucheth men they cry unto their Lord, turning to Him in repentance; then, when they have tasted of His mercy, behold! some of them attribute partners to their Lord." (30:33) "And if We cause him to taste grace after some misfortune that had befallen him, he saith: The ills have gone from me. Lo! he is exultant, boastful." (11:10) "Now when hurt toucheth a man he crieth unto Us, and afterward when We have granted him a boon from Us, he saith: Only by force of knowledge I obtained it. Nay, but it is a test. But most of them know not." (39:49)
"And among mankind is he who worshippeth Allah upon a narrow marge so that if good befalleth him he is content therewith, but if a trial befalleth him, he falleth away utterly. He loseth both the world and the Hereafter. That is the sheer loss." (22:11) " And of them is he who made a covenant with Allah (saying): If He give us of His bounty we will give alms and become of the righteous. Yet when He gave them of His bounty, they hoarded it and turned away, averse; So He hath made the consequence (to be) hypocrisy in their hearts until the day when they shall meet Him, because they broke their word to Allah that they promised Him, and because they lied." (9:75-77)
"Is it then in vanity that they believe and in the grace of Allah that they disbelieve?" (16:72) "And whatever of comfort ye enjoy, it is from Allah. Then, when misfortune reacheth you, unto Him ye cry for help." (16:53) "Yet most of mankind believe not." (40:59) "Say: Who delivereth you from the darkness of the land and the sea? Ye call upon Him humbly and in secret, (saying): If we are delivered from this (fear) we truly will be of the thankful. Say: Allah delivereth you from this and from all affliction. Yet ye attribute partners unto Him. Say: He is able to send punishment upon you from above you or from beneath your feet, or to bewilder you with dissension and make you taste the tyranny one of another. See how We display the revelations so that they may understand." (6:63-65) "Lo! Allah is a Lord of bounty for mankind, yet most of mankind give not thanks." (40:61)
Is Allah good and kind and loving only when He grants us joy and happiness In the Quran the question is put differently: "Think they that in the wealth and sons wherewith We provide them We hasten unto them with good things? Nay, but they perceive not." (23:55-56) "Whoso desireth the harvest of the Hereafter, We give him increase in its harvest. And whoso desireth the harvest of the world, We give him thereof, and he hath no portion in the Hereafter." (42:20) "And on the day when those who disbelieve are exposed to the Fire (it will be said): Ye squandered your good things in the life of the world and sought comfort therein. Now this day ye are rewarded with the doom of ignominy because ye were disdainful in the land without a right, and because ye used to transgress." (46:20) "...and they rejoice in the life of the world, whereas the life of the world is but brief comfort as compared with the Hereafter." (13:26) "And were it not that mankind would have become one community, We might well have appointed, for those who disbelieve in the Beneficent, roofs of silver for their houses and stairs (of silver) whereby to mount, And for their houses doors (of silver) and couches of silver whereon to recline, And ornaments of gold. Yet all that would have been but a provision of the life of the world. And the Hereafter with your Lord would have been for those who keep from evil." (43:33-35)
"This is a clear message for mankind in order that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is only One God, and that men of understanding may take heed." (14:52)
"As for these similitudes, We coin them for mankind, but none will grasp their meaning save the wise." (29:43)
"So coin not similitudes for Allah. Lo! Allah knoweth; ye know not." (16:74) "O mankind! Ye are the poor in your relation to Allah. And Allah! He is the Absolute, the Owner of Praise. If He will, He can be rid of you and bring (instead of you) some new creation." (35:15-16) "Hast thou not seen that Allah hath created the heavens and the earth with truth? If He will, He can remove you and bring (in) some new creation." (14:19) "Wheresoever ye may be, death will overtake you, even though ye were in lofty towers. "Every soul must taste of death, and We try you with evil and with good, for ordeal." (21 : 35) "Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, and whatsoever is between them, and whatsoever is beneath the sod." (20:6) "Lo! is it not unto Allah that belongeth whosoever is in the heavens and whosoever is in the earth?" (10:66) "Unto Him belongeth whosoever is in the heavens and the earth. All are obedient unto Him." (30:26) "And that He it is who maketh laugh, and maketh weep." (53:43)
"No nation can outstrip its term, nor yet postpone it." (23:43) "Thinketh man that he is to be left aimless? Was he not a drop of fluid which gushed forth? Then he became a clot; then (Allah) shaped and fashioned And made of him a pair, the male and female. Is not He (Who doeth so) Able to bring the dead to life?" (75:36-40) "Thinketh man that We shall not assemble his bones? Yea, verily. We are Able to restore his very fingers!" (75:3-4) "And that man hath only that for which he maketh effort, And that his effort will be seen. And afterward he will be repaid for it with fullest payment." (53:39-41) "And We set a just balance for the Day of Resurrection so that no soul is wronged in aught. Though it be of the weight of a grain of mustard seed, We bring it. And We suffice for reckoners." (21:47) "And we task not any soul beyond its scope, and with Us is a Record which speaketh the truth, and they will not be wronged." (23:62) "Whoso bringeth a good deed, he will have better than the same; while as for him who bringeth an ill-deed, those who do ill-deeds will be requited only what they did." (28:84)
"And We have given you (mankind) power in the earth, and appointed for you therein livelihoods. Little give ye thanks!" (7:10) "And whatsoever ye have been given is a comfort of the life of the world and an ornament thereof; and that which Allah hath is better and more lasting. Have ye then no sense?" (28:60)
"And those who give that which they give with hearts afraid because they are about to return unto their Lord." (23:60) "Those who fear their Lord in secret and who dread the Hour (of doom)." (21:49) “Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Are those who know equal with those who know not? But only men of understanding will pay heed." (39:9) "And give good tidings (O Muhammad) to the humble, Whose hearts fear when Allah is mentioned, and the patient of whatever may befall them, and those who establish worship and who spend of that We have bestowed on them." (22:34-35) "Those who spend (of that which Allah hath given them) in ease and in adversity, those who control their wrath and are forgiving toward mankind; Allah loveth the good." (3:134) "They only are the (true) believers whose hearts feel fear when Allah is mentioned, and when His revelations are recited unto them they increase their faith, and who trust in their Lord; Who establish worship and spend of that We have bestowed on them. Those are they who are in truth believers. For them are grades (of honour) with their Lord, and pardon, and a bountiful provision." (8:2-4) “He who holdeth fast to Allah, he indeed is guided unto a right path." (3:101)
"O ye who believe! Ye have charge of your own souls. He who erreth cannot injure you if ye are rightly guided. Unto Allah ye will all return; and then He will inform you of what ye used to do." (5:105)
"Shall We treat those who believe and do good works as those who spread corruption in the earth; or shall We treat the pious as the wicked?" (38:28) "Lo! as for those who believe and do good works - Lo! We leave not to waste the wage of him who does good works." (18:30)
"If ye publish your almsgiving, it is well, but if ye hide it and give it to the poor, it will be better for you, and will atone for some of your ill-deeds. Allah is Informed of what ye do." (2:271) "And there is no sin for you in the mistakes that ye make unintentionally, but what your hearts purpose (that will be a sin for you). Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful." (33:5)

"Lo! Allah defendeth those who are true. Lo! Allah loveth not each treacherous ingrate." (22:38) "And lo! as for the wrong-doers, some of them are friends of others; and Allah is the Friend of those who ward off (evil)." (45:19) "He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy." (12:64)
"Yet they choose beside Him other gods who create naught but are themselves created, and possess not hurt nor profit for themselves, and possess not death nor life, nor power to raise the dead." (25:3) "If there were therein gods beside Allah, then verily both (the heavens and the earth) had been disordered. Glorified be Allah, the Lord of the Throne, from all that they ascribe (unto Him)." (21:22) "And they esteem not Allah as He hath the right to be esteemed…” (85:12)
"And they worship beside Allah that which owneth no provision whatsoever for them from the heavens or the earth, nor have they (whom they worship) any power." (16:73) "Lo! those whom ye serve instead of Allah own no provision for you. So seek your provision from Allah, and serve Him, and give thanks unto Him, (for) unto Him ye will be brought back." (29:17) "And how many an animal there is that beareth not its own provision! Allah provideth for it and for you. He is the Hearer, the Knower." (29:60)

"Unto Him is the real prayer. Those unto whom they pray beside Allah respond to them not at all, save as (is the response to) one who stretcheth forth his hands toward water (asking) that it may come unto his mouth, and it will never reach it. The prayer of disbelievers goeth (far) astray." (13:14) "Lo! Allah knoweth what thing they invoke instead of Him. He is the Mighty, the Wise." (29:42) "Lo! those on whom ye call beside Allah are slaves like unto you. Call on them now, and let them answer you, if ye are truthful!" (7:194)
"And if ye would count the favour of Allah ye cannot reckon it. Lo! Allah is indeed Forgiving, Merciful." (16:18) "Lo! Allah is a Lord of bounty for mankind, yet most of mankind give not thanks." (40:61) "...and whosoever giveth thanks, he giveth thanks for (the good of) his soul. And whosoever refuseth - Lo! Allah is Absolute, Owner of Praise."

(13:8) "No female beareth or bringeth forth save with His knowledge. And no-one groweth old who groweth old, nor is aught lessened of his life, but it is recorded in a Book, Lo! that is easy for Allah." (35:11) "Not an atom's weight, or less than that or greater, escapeth Him in the heavens or in the earth, but it is in a clear Record, That He may reward those who believe and do good works. For them is pardon and a rich provision." (34:3-4)

Not an atom's weight, or less than that or greater, escapeth Him in the heavens or in the earth, but it is in a clear Record. That He may reward those who believe and do good works. For them is pardon and a rich provision." (34:3-4)
"Truly Allah loveth those who turn unto Him, and loveth those who have a care for cleanness." (2:222) "Lo! worship preserveth from lewdness and iniquity, but verily remembrance of Allah is more important. And Allah knoweth what ye do." (29:45)

"If Allah took mankind to task by that which they deserve, He would not leave a living creature on the surface of the earth; but He reprieveth them unto an appointed term, and when their term cometh - then verily (they will know that) Allah is ever Seer of His slaves." (35:45) " If Allah were to take mankind to task for their wrong-doing, he would not leave hereon a living creature, but He reprieveth them to an appointed term, and when their term cometh they cannot put (it) off an hour nor (yet) advance (it)." (16:61)
"Whatever of misfortune striketh you, it is what your right hands have earned. And He forgiveth much." (42:30) "Your Lord is Best Aware of what is in your minds. If ye are righteous, then lo! He was ever Forgiving unto those who turn (unto Him)." (17:25) "Lo! Allah verily is Mild, Forgiving." (22:60) "And He it is Who accepteth repentance from His bondmen, and pardoneth the evil deeds, and knoweth what ye do, And accepteth those who do good works, and giveth increase unto them of His bounty." (42:25-26) "And lo! verily I am Forgiving toward him who repenteth and believeth and doeth good, and afterward walketh aright." (20:82) "Say: O My slaves who have been prodigal to their own hurt! Despair not of the mercy of Allah, Who forgiveth all sins. Lo! He is the Forgiving, the Merciful." (39:53) "But as for him who shall repent and believe and do right, he haply may be one of the successful." (28:67) "Those who avoid enormities of sin and abominations, save the unwilled offences - (for them) lo! thy Lord is of vast mercy. He is Best Aware of you (from the time) when He created you from the earth, and when ye were hidden in the bellies of your mothers. Therefor ascribe not purity unto yourselves. He is Best Aware of him who wardeth off (evil)." (53:32) "And those who, when they do an evil thing or wrong themselves, remember Allah and implore forgiveness for their sins - Who forgiveth sins save Allah only? - and will not knowingly repeat (the wrong) they did. The reward of such will be forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever - a bountiful reward for workers!" (3:135-136) "Establish worship at the two ends of the day and in some watches of the night. Lo! good deeds annul ill-deeds. This is reminder for the mindful." (11:114) "Unto Him be praise in the heavens and the earth! - and at the sun's decline and in the noonday." (30:18)
"Seest thou not how Allah coineth a similitude: A goodly saying, as a goodly tree, its root set firm, its branches reaching into heaven. Giving its fruit at every season by permission of its Lord? Allah coineth the similitudes for mankind in order that they may reflect. And the similitude of a bad saying is as a bad tree, uprooted from upon the earth, possessing no stability. Allah confirmeth those who believe by a firm saying in the life of the world and in the Hereafter, and Allah sendeth wrong-doers astray. And Allah doeth what He will." (14:24-27) "Allah chooseth for Himself whom He will, and guideth unto Himself him who turneth (toward Him)." (43:13) "O mankind! There hath come unto you an exhortation from your Lord, a balm for that which is in the breasts, a guidance and a mercy for believers. Say: In the bounty of Allah and in His mercy: therein let them rejoice. It is better than what they hoard." (10:57-58) "...and whoso believeth in his Lord, he feareth neither loss nor oppression." (72:13) "And Allah summoneth to the abode of peace, and leadeth whom He will to a straight path." (10:25) "This is clear indication for mankind, and a guidance and a mercy for a folk whose faith is sure." (45:20) "For those who believe it is a guidance and a healing; and as for those who disbelieve, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness for them." (41:44)
"But ye prefer the life of the world (16) Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting." (87:17) "Is he who relieth on a clear proof from his Lord like those for whom the evil that they do is beautified while they follow their own lusts?" (47:14) "Is he who goeth groping on his face more rightly guided, or he who walketh upright on a straight road?" (67:22) "(And) lo! those who believe and do good works are the best of created beings. Their reward is with their Lord: Gardens of Eden underneath which rivers flow, wherein they dwell for ever. Allah hath pleasure in them and they have pleasure in Him. This is (in store) for him who feareth his Lord." (98:7-8)
"With this doth Allah appal His bondmen. O My bondmen, therefor fear Me!" (39:16) "But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust, Lo! the Garden will be his home." (79:40-41) "Lo! those who fear their Lord in secret, theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward." (67:12) "As for those who strive in Us, We surely guide them to Our paths, and lo! Allah is with the good." (29:69) "While as for those who walk aright, He addeth to their guidance, and giveth them their protection (against evil)." (47:17) "Allah increaseth in right guidance those who walk aright, and the good deeds which endure are better in thy Lord's sight for reward, and better for resort." (19:76) "Allah hath endeared the faith to you and hath beautified it in your hearts, and hath made disbelief and lewdness and rebellion hateful unto you. Such are they who are the rightly guided. (It is) a bounty and a grace from Allah; and Allah is Knower, Wise." (49:7-8)
"Whatsoever good ye send before you for your souls, ye will find it with Allah, better and greater in the recompense. And seek forgiveness of Allah. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." (73:20) "O my bondmen who believe! Lo! My earth is spacious. Therefor serve Me only. Every soul will taste of death. Then unto Us ye will be returned. Those who believe and do good works, them verily We shall house in lofty dwellings of the Garden underneath which rivers flow. There they will dwell secure. How sweet the guerdon of the toilers, Who persevere, and put their trust in their Lord!" (29:56-59) " He it is Who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, that He may cause it to prevail over all religion. And Allah sufficeth as a Witness." (48:28)

"Is Allah best, or (all) that ye ascribe as partners (unto Him)? Is not He (best) Who created the heavens and the earth, and sendeth down for you water from the sky wherewith We cause to spring forth joyous orchards, whose trees it never hath been yours to cause to grow. Is there any Allah beside Allah? Nay, but they are folk who ascribe equals (unto Him)! Is not He (best) Who made the earth a fixed abode, and placed rivers in the folds thereof, and placed firm hills therein, and hath set a barrier between the two seas? Is there any God beside Allah? Nay, but most of them know not! Is not He (best) Who answereth the wronged one when he crieth unto Him and removeth the evil, and hath made you viceroys of the earth? Is there any God beside Allah? Little do they reflect! Is not He (best) Who guideth you in the darkness of the land and the sea, He Who sendeth the winds as heralds of His mercy? Is there any God beside Allah? High Exalted be Allah from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)!" (27:59-63)
" Lo! most of mankind are heedless of Our portents." (10:92)
"And in the earth are portents for those whose faith is sure. And (also) in yourselves. Can ye then not see?" (51:21"
"Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Aye, that He is! for He is the All-Wise Creator." (35:81)
"Lo! therein verily is a reminder for him who hath a heart, or giveth ear with full intelligence." (50:37)
"And He showeth you His tokens. Which, then, of the tokens of Allah do ye deny?" (40:81) " Or were they created out of naught? Or are they the creators?" (52:35)
In what fact after this will they believe?" (7:185)
"O mankind! Remember Allah's grace toward you! Is there any creator other than Allah who provideth for you from the sky and the earth? There is no God save Him. Whither then are ye turned?" (35:3)
"O mankind! Lo! the promise of Allah is true. So let not the life of the world beguile you, and let not the (avowed) beguiler beguile you with regard to Allah." (35:5)
"Know that the life of the world is only play, and idle talk, and pageantry, and boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children; as the likeness of vegetation after rain, whereof the growth is pleasing to the husbandman, but afterward it drieth up and thou seest it turning yellow, then it becometh straw. And in the Hereafter there is grievous punishment, and (also) forgiveness from Allah and His good pleasure, whereas the life of the world is but matter of illusion." (57:20)
"Now whatever ye have been given is but a passing comfort for the life of the world, and that which Allah hath is better and more lasting for those who believe and put their trust in their Lord." (42:36)
"Allah enlargeth livelihood for whom He will, and straiteneth (it for whom He will); and they rejoice in the life of the world, whereas the life of the world is but brief comfort as compared with the Hereafter." (13:26)
Man is made of haste. I shall show you My portents, but ask Me not to hasten." (21:37) "We shall show them Our portents on the horizons and within themselves until it will be manifest unto them that it is the Truth. Doth not thy Lord suffice, since He is Witness over all things?" (41:53)
"Have they not pondered upon themselves? Allah created not the heavens and the earth, and that which is between them, save with truth and for a destined end. But truly many of mankind are disbelievers in the meeting with their Lord." (8:30)
الأرض
"Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them, and we made every living thing of water? Will they not then believe?" (21:30)
"And He hath cast into the earth firm hills that it quake not with you, and streams and roads that ye may find a way." (16:15)
"And all things We have created by pairs, that haply ye may reflect." (51:49"
السماء
We decked the nether heaven with lamps, and rendered it inviolable. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Knower." (41: 12)
"Assuredly the creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of mankind; but most of mankind know not. "(40:57) "Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built? He raised the height thereof and ordered it; And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof." (79:27-29) "Allah it is Who raised up the heavens without visible supports, then mounted the Throne, and compelled the sun and the moon to be of service, each runneth unto an appointed term; He ordereth the course; He detaileth the revelations, that haply ye may be certain of the meeting with your Lord." (13:2)
Allah it is Who "hath created seven heavens in harmony. Thou (Muhammad) canst see no fault in the Beneficent One's creation; then look again: Canst thou see any rifts? Then look again and yet again, thy sight will return unto thee weakened and made dim." (67:3-4)
"Blessed be He Who hath placed in the heaven mansions of the stars, and hath placed therein a great lamp and a moon giving light!" (25:61) "And verily in the heaven we have set mansions of the stars, and We have beautified it for beholders." (15:16) "And we have made the sky a roof withheld (from them). Yet they turn away from its portents." (21:32)
الطير أمم
"There is not an animal in the earth, nor a flying creature flying on two wings, but they are peoples like unto you. We have neglected nothing in the Book (of Our decrees). Then unto their Lord they will be gathered." (6:38)
"Have they not seen the birds above them spreading out their wings and closing them? Naught upholdeth them save the Beneficent. Lo! He is Seer of all things." (67:19)
المطر
الرياح
"And He it is Who sendeth down the saving rain after they have despaired, and spreadeth out His mercy. He is the Protecting Friend, the Praiseworthy." (42:28)
"Allah is He Who sendeth the winds so that they raise clouds, and spreadeth them along the sky as pleaseth Him, and causeth them to break and thou seest the rain downpouring from within them. And when He maketh it to fall on whom He will of His bondmen, lo! they rejoice; Though before that, even before it was sent down upon them, they were in despair. Look, therefore, at the prints of Allah's mercy (in creation): how He quickeneth the earth after her death. Lo! He verily is the Quickener of the Dead, and He is Able to do all things. And if We sent a wind and they beheld it yellow, they verily would still continue in their disbelief. (30:48-51)
"And we send down from the sky water in measure, and We give it lodging in the earth, and lo! We are Able to withdraw it." (29:18) "Hast thou not seen how Allah wafteth the clouds, then gathereth them, then maketh them layers, and thou seest the rain come forth from between them; He sendeth down from the heaven mountains wherein is hail, and smiteth therewith whom He will, and averteth it from whom He will. The flashing of His lightning all but snatcheth away the sight." (24:43) "And Allah it is Who sendeth the winds and they raise a cloud; then We lead it unto a dead land and revive therewith the earth after its death. Such is the Resurrection." (35:9)
"And verily We have repeated it among them that they may remember, but most of mankind begrudge aught save ingratitude." (25:50)
"Hast thou not seen that Allah causeth water to fall from the sky, and We produce therewith fruit of divers hues; and among the hills are streaks white and red, of divers hues, and (others) raven-black; And of men and beasts and cattle, in like manner, divers hues? The erudite among His bondmen fear Allah alone. Lo! Allah is Mighty, Forgiving." (35:27-28)
"Hast thou not seen how Allah hath sent down water from the sky and hath caused it to penetrate the earth as watersprings, and afterward thereby produceth crops of divers hues; and afterward they wither and thou seest them turn yellow; then He maketh them chaff. Lo! herein verily is a reminder for men of understanding." (39:21)
“Say: Have ye thought: If (all) your water were to disappear into the earth, who then could bring you gushing water? " (67 : 30)
الأنعام
"And lo! in the cattle there is a lesson for you. We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, from betwixt the refuse and the blood, pure milk palatable to the drinkers." (16:66)
النحل
"And thy Lord inspired the bee, saying: Choose thou habitations in the hills and in the trees and in that which they thatch; Then eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of thy Lord, made smooth (for thee). There cometh forth from their bellies a drink divers of hues, wherein is healing for mankind. Lo! herein is indeed a portent for people who reflect." (16:68-69)
الشمس
"And the sun runneth on unto a resting-place for him. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Wise. And for the moon We have appointed mansions till she return like an old shrivelled palm-leaf. It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit." (36:38-40)
"He it is Who appointed the sun a splendour and the moon a light, and measured for her stages, that ye might know the number of the years, and the reckoning. Allah created not (all) that save in truth. He detaileth the revelations for people who have knowledge." (10:5)
البحر
"And He it is Who hath given independence to the two seas (though they meet); one palatable, sweet, and the other saltish, bitter; and hath set a bar and a forbidding ban between them." (25:53) "And the two seas are not alike: this, fresh, sweet, good to drink, this (other) bitter, salt. And from them both ye eat fresh meat and derive the ornament that ye wear. And thou seest the ship cleaving them with its prow that ye may seek of His bounty, and that haply ye may give thanks." (35:12)
